Rotary International
is a global network of service volunteers. It is the world's
largest service organisation for business and professional
people, with some 1,180,000 members operating in 166 countries
world-wide.
There are some 58,000 Rotarians in Great Britain and Ireland in
1,845 clubs, helping those in need and working towards world
understanding and peace. Its a fulfilling role, and Rotarians
can get involved as much or as little as their time will allow.
But there is much more. Clubs meet on a regular basis, which
allows members to build firm friendships. Every Rotarian has a
right to attend any Club meeting anywhere in the world, so there
is always somewhere to go, and people to meet, wherever business
or leisure travel may take you.
Various Clubs have different emphases, which can reflect
differences in size. A small market town may have a Club of
perhaps 20 members, whereas in large centres the number can be
closer to 100. Some concentrate on local community or vocational
projects. Others link up with a sister club in another country
to undertake an international project. Each Club decides how it
wants to use the resources it has available.
